Hang Me In The Bottle Lyrics - Tom Waits

well you can hang me in a bottle like a cat 

let the crows pick me clean but for my hat 

where the wailing of a baby 

meets the footsteps of the dead 

we're all mad here 

and the devil sticks his flag into the mud 

Mrs Carol has run off with Reverend Judd 

hell is such a lonely place 

and your big expensive face will never last 

have I told you all about the eyeball kid? 

he was born alone inside a petri dish 

he was born without a body or a brow 

and you'll die with the rose still on your lips 

and in time the heart-shaped bone that was your hips 

and all the worms 

they will climb the rugged ladder of your spine 

we're all mad here 

and my eyeballs roll this terrible terrain 

and we're all inside a decomposing train 

and your eyes will die like fish 

and the shore of your face will turn to bone 

hang me in a bottle like a cat 

let the crows pick me clean but for my hat 

where the wailing of a baby 

meets the footsteps of the dead 

we're all mad here
